Two of the Baltimore officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray are now suing prosecutors.

The lawsuit was filed on May 2, but it was unsealed Wednesday.

It is filed by attorneys for Officer William Porter and Sgt. Alicia White, against Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, the State of Maryland and Baltimore City Sheriff's Major Sam Cogen.

Cogan led the investigation into the officers following Gray's death, on behalf of the state's attorney's office.

The lawsuit alleges defamation and invasion of privacy, and claims that Mosby knew the charges against Porter and White were false, when she announced them in May of last year, days after the riots.

"They exposed plaintiffs to public scorn, hatred and contempt thereby discouraging others in the community from having a favorable opinion or associating with plaintiffs," attorney Michael Glass writes in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit includes new information about Sgt. Alicia White's contact with Freddie Gray.

At the van's fifth stop at 1600 West North Avenue, White checked on Freddie Gray and found him sitting between the seat and floor of the police wagon with his head down.

In the lawsuit, White said she heard Gray breathing, but concluded he was not in distress, but was being uncooperative. White then left the scene in her patrol car. According to the lawsuit, when she returned to the Western District, White saw officers attempting to take Gray out of the van.

White then asked the officers if Gray needed medical attention. Another officer told White a medic had been called. White confirmed that on her police radio.

"As soon as the plaintiff White was aware that Mr. Gray was in distress, she took immediate steps to facilitate him getting medical attention," White's attorneys wrote.

Both White and Porter wanted this lawsuit sealed.

Judge Althea Handy denied that request and ordered the details of the lawsuit unsealed Wednesday.

Mosby, like the defense in all cases, remains under a gag order in regards to the Gray cases.

Earlier this week, following the acquittal of Officer Edward Nero, Judge Barry Williams affirmed that the gag order would remain in place until all six officers trials are completed. Glass has not returned calls for comment from WBAL.

White and Porter are seeking more than $75,000 in damages for each of four counts detailed in their 26-page lawsuit.

"As a result and proximate result of the false and defamatory statement, plaintiffs were placed on administrative leave with no pay and have suffered and continue to suffer monetary damages in the form of lost income, lost raises in salary and lost promotions," the lawsuit states.

Porter's first criminal trial ended in a mistrial. Porter's retrial is scheduled for September 6. White's trial is scheduled for October 13. It's not known if this case will have any impact on those trial dates.

In an interview for Sunday's Maryland's News This Week, attorney Warren Brown talks about the lawsuit.
